Client: Multi-Billion Dollar Food Manufacturer
PraxiChain network supported a multi-billion-dollar manufacturer in optimizing its bulk edible oil freight spend, a portfolio spanning multi-state rail and truck movements from processing facilities to bottling/packaging plants. Focus was on modal trade-offs, food-grade equipment qualification, & transfer point optimization.
Scope Highlights
- Evaluated the modal mix of rail and tanker truck based on volume, lane density, and food-grade equipment availability
- Qualified dedicated food-grade railcars and tanker trucks to meet FDA and shipper requirements.
- Identified transfer and transload points to preserve rail economics while meeting delivery requirements at bottling/packaging facilities without direct rail access.
